The 19000 were ballots that were turned in for new ballots that were counted, as the voter received a new ballot and properly cast it,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I agree Dave. I voted for Gore but believe that after all the chest beating and arm waving (including pandering to the street demonstrations) the wise men in the democratic party will sit down and realize that this is the chance of a lifetime....if they accept the loss. For instance.... 1. Gore gives the speech of a lifetime. Believing with all his heart that he really won, he agrees to concede the election "for the good of the country". He "stands by the Constitution" but not necessarily the unseamly method in which the "provilege of voting" has been handled in certain districts around the country". He pledges his assistance to Bush in the transition and calls off the dogs. 2. Gore immediately becomes a martyr. The image of the popular vote winner stepping aside for the "good of the nation" will galvanize the mainstream demo voters like nothing since JFK. Gore "retires" to the Farm to read, commune with Nature, write a book, occasionally traveling to World spots to meet with world leaders and learn about the greater issues. 3. Lieberman returns to the Senate as the conscience of the nation. After this "great wrong" he strides like an icon over that body for the next two years, waiving his finger at every Republican initiative because it was clearly not "the will of the people" as evidenced by the recent national vote. 4. The demos fire up the biggest registration and get out the vote campaign in history before the 2002 mid-term elections. At least two million Americans vote demo just because what happened last time "was not fair". Sympathy vote is huge!!! 5. More republicans up for Senate seats in two years. Demos hit 'em hard. Demos retake congress in 2002. Party out of power usually does pick up seats in mid-term elections, so no surprise there. 6. Why, who is that? It is Al Gore, back with Joe Lieberman to run again in 2004. The people have spoken...we have to run again. 7. Of course, during all of this Mr. Bush is facing a slowing economy, a tough world stage, a congress that will give him nothing....and he will be under a scrutiny he probably still can't imagine. Every little error and goof will be multiplied. Any big blunder will call for the usual comparison to "how Al would have handled it with his greater experience". Watch for this to play out in the weeks and months ahead. JMHO
